What's your Floral Scent?🌺
Candles, Room Sprays, Soaps, Lotions, Body Mists, Incense, Room Sachet, Perfume... Whatever flavored thing we use in our witchy can help us to focus and enjoy magical times.
Floral scents are amazing for love, balance, self-care & confidence spells; each one corresponds to a feeling or personality trait, and do purify the air of your sacred spaces (essential oils make it easier). Flowers may be used by anyone regardless of their gender but they represent receptive, beautiful female energy a.k.a. our feminine side (male is represented by stems, fruit, wood, air, fire, mushrooms, wild plants, rocks, metals, etc... Soil is feminine tho!).
How to Choose
1. IT SUITS YOU: know how that flower looks like, pay attention to the colors and take a Seasonal Color Analysis test if you don't know to which season you chromatically belong to. Its aspect should match yours!
2. IT HEALS YOU: one that smells elegant, soft and not too overpowering to you (not to other people, don't listen to them!).
3. IT "EXPOSES" YOU: you don't have to be an expert, just read a few lines about how to look after your fav flower. Sometimes the little things indicate hidden parts of your personality, or hidden needs.
